From the school time I remember making Puzuri. It is an ancient winter decoration in Latvian homes. This decoration hanging down from the ceiling is catching the smallest breeze in the room to start its rotation. It is somewhat like Dream catchers in North America, with its own unique Latvian meaning. Puzuri is made of straws and yarn, so it is basically very ecological decoration - in those we are recycling otherwise unusual straws. As the Christmas holiday season is approaching, I felt like reviving this ancient Latvian tradition. I was cautious how would it be after the 20 years, would I remember anything of this craft? Well, to be honest the start was not very smooth. Puzuri making requires concentration, high level of accuracy and most of all patience. Nevertheless, after some time spent in this activity I found that it is a great meditation - the combination of the natural materials and the ancient ornaments gradually calm the mind and a harmony is born. I am not particularly proud of my very first basic produce (although there was some progress if I compare my 1st and 5th Puzurs). Clearly its takes a long practice to create those masterpieces produced by real Puzuri craftsmen - those Puzuri are amazing!
